Master Freiderich von Blumenkamp of Calontir, Lady Lora Ann Rós and their son Liam’s car caught on fire on the return trip from Gulf Wars on March 21st 2015. Although all the humans escaped safely, unfortunately, none of the birds survived. Artemis, a 21 year old Harris Hawk, Cinnamon, a 5 year old Red Tailed Hawk, Winter, a 4 year old gyrfalcon, Lady, a 16 year old Aplomado falcon and Ra’n, a 4 year old American Kestrel, died in the fire. A fund to help the family of falconers has been set up by Lord Andromir Vukovic.
Fionn O' Diubhain It is often great joy or great sadness that moves one to write... the latter called me tonight. I'm sorry for your loss, we grieve with you.
Calontir sheds tears fresh Talons in wood's bane lost Freya's cloak-kin flying Feathers shadow Hel's road
Blood song sung days before Brought Calontir honor But her hearts laid low by Light of fire's darkness
Cinnamon, red-reaver R'an, the noble ripple-wing Winter's ivory allure Artemis hunts Hel's Hall
Weeps the Sable Star for Soar no more these falcons This skald's tongue now silent Sorrow has reaped his words.
Thank you for the add to this group. I wanted to express my sorrow and heart break at the loss of your Kingdom's War Falcons and to also give big *HUGS* to the Brooks family. My family and I have admired and been in awe of these birds for some time and I am glad I did get to see them one last time at Gulf Wars this year, if only from a distance. Howls of mourning from House of the Well Fed Wolf and many wishes for comfort and healing to all.

by Lord Da’ud ibn Ibrahim al-Sisari, mka Adam Elkan-Hale, via FacebookHearts and minds did soar
Telling tales of the war fray’s work
Wishing for one day more
Then loudly cried Lord Andromir
With story of fire and woe
Master Freidrich’s wagon burns
All is lost in tow
Calontir has her falcons lost
Her mighty birds of prey
The Knowne World weeps with Calontir
This black and mournful day
Talons, beaks were razor sharp
Like Calon army’s spears
Your eyes saw far with keen cold glance
Our eyes now shed tears
The Singing Kingdom weeps
Bright Cal’trava’s shine is dimmed
Calon birds now sleep
Cinnamon, Artemis, and kestrel R’an
Lady and Winter white
Fly to Valhalla, to Odin’s arm
Feast on flesh tonight
Calontir has her falcons lost
Empty the Heartland skies
Hearts are heavy, but in your names
Gold falcons shall ever fly
Hearts are heavy, but in your names
Gold falcons shall ever fly
Fionn O' Diubhain

Talons in wood's bane lost
Freya's cloak-kin flying
Feathers shadow Hel's road
Blood song sung days before
Brought Calontir honor
But her hearts laid low by
Light of fire's darkness
R'an, the noble ripple-wing
Winter's ivory allure
Artemis hunts Hel's Hall
Weeps the Sable Star for
Soar no more these falcons
This skald's tongue now silent
Sorrow has reaped his words.
